The Native American Contractors Association has selected a new executive director.

Kevin J. Allis is a member of the Forest County Potawatomi Community of Wisconsin. He serves as chairman of the board of directors of Potawatomi Business Development Corporation, the tribe's government contracting arm.

“We welcome Kevin to NACA with enthusiasm,” said NACA Chairman Lance Morgan, a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. “Kevin has experience working with Tribes throughout Indian Country and has led his tribes’ efforts to expand into the government contracting arena.”

Allis, an attorney, most recently worked at PilieroMazza, a government contracting law firm. He represented small businesses that participate in the 8(a) program.

“I understand the unique economic development challenges tribes face and the hope and opportunity Native 8(a) brings our people” Allis said. “I am very excited to join the NACA team and look forward to working with NACA members and the Native community to advocate for the Native 8(a) program and provide meaningful training and business opportunities for our members.”
